I think Musk is a better example. Money is just a medium for him to change the world for the better. I'm sure being rich makes Musk happy, only because it enables him to make a difference.

Strange how if someone were to post here saying "I've made tons of money and accumulated enormous power, but some days I'm just not happy" they would be hit with a wave of empathetic responses.
But then those same empathetic people will speculate, "I can tell <famous person> is totally unhappy -- idiot!"
I think they're both pretty happy. Musk is doing what he wants to do. Trump is doing what he thought he wanted to do.

Driven but I wouldn't call either of them happy.
Personally I think these types of people are abnormal and their "success" isn't something I aspire to.

If Musk was trying to change the world for the better, he wouldn't have done that thing with the worker's childbirth leave.
